Title
Heath Old Hall, East Front - HLS05896
Description
Slide 1: Heath Old Hall, the residence of Mr Gilbert Tennent, deservres to be accounted among the finest Yorkshire houses of the Elizabethan period. Its situation is striking, perched on a wooded cliff, overlooking the Calder Valley.
It appears to have been built by John Kaye of Dalton, who was the son of another John Kaye, by the daughter and heiress of William Dodsworth of Shelley. John Kaye's name appears on visitation of Yorkshire in 1564, which may serve to indicate the date of its erection.
The arms of John Kaye, quartering those of his mother, are above the principal entrance, which is approached by a noble flight of sixteen steps. From the Kayes the Hall passed to the Withams of Ledston.
